Citlali Fabi\u00e1n is a visual artist from the Yalalteca Indigenous community in Mexico currently based in London, who uses photography to explore ways of addressing identity and its connections with territory, migration, and community bonds. Fabi\u00e1n receives a $25,000 (USD) cash prize, a range of Sony Digital Imaging equipment, and the opportunity to present a solo showcase at the Sony World Photography Awards 2027 exhibition.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\">Fabi\u00e1n was selected from the 10 Professional competition category winners, who were announced at today&#8217;s ceremony, alongside the 2nd and 3rd place finalists in each category.

Also honoured during the course of the evening was this year&#8217;s <em>Outstanding Contribution to Photography<\/em> recipient, celebrated photographer Joel Meyerowitz.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\">Now in their 19th edition, the Sony World Photography Awards set the standard for international photography recognition; an unmissable moment in the global cultural calendar that continues to discover, celebrate and elevate the photographers shaping our visual world. Across this year\u2019s competitions, over 430,000 images from over 200 countries and territories were submitted.

The series tells the stories of iconic women from Indigenous communities across Oaxaca, Mexico, whose advocacy work generates meaningful impact across a range of spheres: in law, linguistics, the arts and ecology, among others. Conceived as a project to inspire young girls with positive role models, and created through close, sustained collaboration with the women in the photographs, the images in this series highlight their achievements as well as their lived experiences and motivations. The digital drawings applied to the portraits comprise symbols and motifs that reflect the sitters&#8217; personal trajectories and celebrate their cultural heritage.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-114059\" src=\"https:\/\/ainalalam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Image-1-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ainalalam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Image-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ainalalam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Image-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ainalalam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Image-1.jpeg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-114060\" src=\"https:\/\/ainalalam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Image-3-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ainalalam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Image-3-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ainalalam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Image-3-768x511.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ainalalam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Image-3.jpeg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-114061\" src=\"https:\/\/ainalalam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Image-4-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ainalalam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Image-4-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ainalalam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Image-4-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ainalalam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Image-4.jpeg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\">Commenting on Citlali Fabi\u00e1n\u2019s winning project, Monica Allende, Chair of the 2026 Professional jury says: <em>\u2018Through her work, Citlali Fabi\u00e1n reflects on urgent questions of visibility and representation. In many Indigenous cultures, stories are told collectively, shaped by conversation and lived experience rather than by a single voice. Fabi\u00e1n brings this spirit into her photographic practice by working closely with each woman she portrays. Her subjects are not simply photographed, they are active participants in shaping how their stories are told. Through this process, the artist highlights the presence, strength, and achievements of women who have often been overlooked, giving them the visibility and recognition they have long deserved within the wider social and cultural landscape.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\">PROFESSIONAL CATEGORY WINNERS<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\">The winning series in the 2026 Professional competition have been selected by a panel of expert judges.
